Risa Binder has just released her debut album Paper Heart this week, and recently took the time to stop by with her band for a performance and interview. The Columbia, MD native, who moved to Brooklyn, NY around eight years ago, started writing songs about the things going on in her life at the age of nine. She grew up a pop music fan, but totally fell in love with country music while attending college. She was going to appear in a show about women in country music, and while doing research on Loretta Lynn, discovered how incredible she was.More With Risa

Year after year after year I recall going to work the Monday following the GRAMMYs and talking about how once again, alt-rock was snubbed, yet again. But this year, I feel like we had some bright spots worth talking about. Foo Fighters, Adele, Skrillex and Bon Iver made me feel like our voices are at last being heard. (Although Adele is now considered a world-wide sensation, she was first embraced by alt-rock radio.)

Foo Fighters taking home a whopping five GRAMMYs is pretty frickin’ huge.

OK Go is known for releasing intricate videos that are imaginative and break the mold of the more mundane video fodder offered by other bands. Their latest video released over the weekend continues that tradition. Parts of the video were seen in a Super Bowl ad for Chevy. Billboard.com reports OK Go goes stunt driving “through a two-mile obstacle course in a car fashioned with retractable arms, which pound upon different instruments set up across the course. Chimes are thwacked, guitars are destroyed…”Remember ‘The Treadmill Video’? See OK Go’s New Video Here
